RE: overheating
something is clogging her colant system what you need to do is darin the coolant and run stright water (hose preferablly) through the system to see if it is circulating properly. If it goes through her whole system then im stumped.

The car would run normal at the begining and when it at operating tempture, it start to bubling out of the reservoir but the temp gauge isnot indicating overheating.Let me know if this is the symtom.

RE: overheating
what i would do is with the car overheating or close to it put your hand around the lower radiator hose. If its still cold your thermostat isnt opening, a brand new thermostat can be a bad one its happed to me a couple times.
Is there any coolant in her oil? The head gasket could be lifting and pushing pressure into the coolant system

try opening the the rad cap (cold of course) then run it 4 a while . have someone rev the motor ,if the coolant spills over when u rev it it means u have a head gasket leak, pretty sure it does anyway . someone can correct me if im wrong.

my advice is if there insnt any indications that there are HG problems, just flush the whole system, there may bee enough crud in there to affect cooling, expecially the radiator, with all the small passages.
